Not a lot of time for game dev today, but switched the player to use a capsule collider instead of a convex hull. I'm not sure why i was so concerned with getting something close to the "right" shape for the collider. Capsule definitely seems better. Also added back some floating islands...

I broke my game and then spent 2 hours trying to figure out what went wrong. I forgot to add a value to my map. :/ But in the good news, finishing a level can have multiple requirements *and* tunnels just work! I'm too tired to mess with OBS, so screenshots. #bevy #gamedev #indiedev

Today I modeled a bookcase, updated how level success is determined, and added floating platform. I think the game has TOO MUCH repetitive jumping so trying to reduce that. Maybe I’ll work on booby traps and holes tomorrow…

@studioinkyfox.bsky.social I just started playing Omno, and I love it. Looking forward to Kibu!!

This is so true though. I got Omno *and* Europa because they both were described as "puzzle platformers heavy on exploration". And I just got Tunic for similar vibes! (I have only had time to play Omno, but it's sooooo exactly what I wanted it to be.)

Bevy + Skein + Avian3d working pretty good! (I'm still figuring stuff out, so definitely not representative of the projects...) #bevy #bevy3d #gamedev #indiegamedev

Now the camera moves closer to the player to avoid clipping through walls! It doesn't avoid the boxes, because it was causing extreme weirdness when it didn't.

This is actually quite upsetting to me. If you’ve pursued somebody for years to license their IP and they’ve said no, the decent thing to do is leave them alone.

Bill Watterson:

A hill on which I will die: Calvin and Hobbes is one of the great pieces of 20th-century American literature in no small part because it was never turned into anything aside from a comic strip. Leave it be.

OMG, I got the 3rd person camera to avoid clipping through walls! Not perfect yet, but it feels nice that it works like 80% of the way.

Blizzards successes were all just improving on existing games (i say as someone who worked on starcraft 2, diablo 3 and 4, heroes of the storm). It's the way of business, and of art!

Also good #gamedev advice in general: If you're inspired by some games or a similar game already exist - Don't just take inspiration from the good parts, but the deficiencies and flaws as well! There you'll find opportunity to stand out.

Indie Dev discovers the game they're making basically already exists, worried of being deemed a ripoff. Original dev responds.

Today, I started trying to figure out how to make the 3rd person camera not clip through things. That required some raycasting, but my raycasting is not working how I expected, and now I'm down a rabbit hole trying to make bevy_skein and avian3d work together how I want to...

wrote the first little devlog for Mosswood Idle! it’s a quick look at how the game loop works w/ bevy + tauri + react. #gamedev #devlog #bevy #tauri #mosswood log.moss.games/the-game-loop

In-game voxel level editor for my turn-based parkour puzzle/strategy game in #bevy. Uses a relatively rough wave function collapse implementation to tag voxels without me having to check every box myself, followed by a meshing stage that applies (3d) dual-grid tilemapping. #gamedev

I added a river. It doesn't do anything yet, but it's there. It might not actually ever do anything, but I like the idea of a Wizard's pocket dimension that's full of dusty bookshelves, cabinets with trinkets, and sitting chairs that has grass and a nice quiet river running through it.

The entire world is running out of RAM and for once it’s not Chrome’s fault. 🙏

Mostly for posterity, but trying to document game dev process. So, my little raccoon can walk through "triggers" to cause stuff to move, and he can jump around and go up stairs. So, there's kind of 2 levels of complexity: * Find the triggers to move things * Run around on those things But...

Obituary: Ratchet & Clank voice actor Jim Ward has passed away at 66

Of course I'm psyched for his comedic voice, but I also genuinely love watching him play the game. He's so creative, and he brings so much joy to the table.

Finally got some very basic systems and components working with Bevy + Skein + Avian3d! I have been pleasantly surprised by Skein especially -- it's delightful to be able to just throw things into blender. #bevy #gamedev #bevy3d

Going to the doctor when there are chores to do? Preposterous!

This is so cool! youtu.be/e06OM1XonA8

okay, okay: I'll resurrect my blog and write something about the Pantone Color of the Year, _fine_.

I knew I was a little obsessed @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social but didn’t realize quite how much…

I've been hard at work replacing the atmosphere renderer with a new one based Bevy's atmosphere implementation. It does not only look better, but is also quite a bit more performant! #bevy #gamedev

@switchangel.bsky.social your music is so cool! I love the “live code” videos too. Gold and Fuschia is dope!!

I was recently reminded of a thing that happened to me back thirty-odd years ago. I was in college and taking one of those fairly large lecture classes where the auditorium has hundreds of seats in rows steeper than movie theaters so everyone gets a good look at the whiteboard.

As we celebrate Cyber Monday today, please save a thought for everyone responsible for bringing it to us.

@abraham.bsky.social I just finished The Mercy of Gods and it was captivating and horrifying in equal measure. Preordered the Faith of Beasts! Just wanted to applaud your work!!

BING! It's a bad tool, but at least it's helped me clarify my opinions about Searle's Chinese Room paper.

Started the new James S. A. Corey book (the Mercy of Gods). I love how they capture events of great magnitude from a personal perspective.

@chrisbiscardi.bsky.social Just tried out maybe a super simple level with Skein. It took like 10 minutes to get it set up and working -- so simple and so nice to be able to keep using Blender! Thanks for developing this!

'Instead of “How are our attitudes being reflected in TV and film?” I think the better question is “How is pop culture attempting to shape and mold attitudes?”' -- @ninametz.bsky.social

Giving @bevy.org another try. I really didn’t like the ECS implementation when I used it a few years ago, but it’s clicking with me better this time. Avian is very cool too.

Just opened up a file in a project I've been working on for almost a year and couldn't help wondering: "What is the point of this???" Off to a great start tonight...
